Just a week after tweeting that the "idiots calling shots" were more to blame than quarterback Mark Sanchez for the New York Jets' struggles, those same decision makers claimed the veteran receiver, who was cut by the Seattle Seahawks last week, off waivers.

Edwards, who was defending the Jets' beleaguered signal-caller, apologized for his outburst a day later, tweeting that he "disrespected and insulted an administration that I have the utmost respect for."

Clearly there were no hard feelings, as Edwards is excited to join the team, which will try to keep its thin playoff hopes alive against the Tennessee Titans on Monday night.

"It feels great to be going home. Thanks to all of jet nation that continuously supported me and pushed for me," Edwards tweeted. "I'm back and it's go timr (sic)"

The Jets, already thin at wideout, found themselves in greater need after Stephen Hill was diagnosed with a sprained knee Monday. The team released running back Kahlil Bell on Tuesday morning, leaving a roster spot open for Edwards.

Edwards, who played for the Jets in 2009 and 2010, had just eight catches for 74 yards and one touchdown in 10 games for the Seahawks this season.
